1977 Cessna Skyhawk XP (R172K)

This is probably the best value you're going to find if you're looking for 172 simplicity and operating costs but a better climb rate, more load capacity, and the stability of a larger airplane.

This plane was originally on a charter with Martin Air, and since then has been used for traffic watch and advanced instrument instruction only--no primary training or bounce-and-splat pattern work.
Seats, carpet, and sidewalls were recently redone and are in very nice shape. Exterior paint is getting edgy; probably rates 4/10.
Very solid performer; good-running and good-flying, dependable airplane. It's also a great instrument platform with a good, solid feel more like a 182. Honest 125-130kt cruise. Great capacity too; with full fuel (50 gallons) you can still put another 650+ pounds in the cabin. (Try THAT in a regular 172!)
